Caspase cleavage of the nuclear autoantigen LEDGF/p75 abrogates its pro-survival function: implications for autoimmunity in atopic disorders 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lens epithelium-derived growth factor p75 (LEDGF/p75) is a nuclear autoantigen in atopic disorders implicated in cellular protection against stress-induced apoptosis. We observed that LEDGF/p75 was cleaved during apoptosis into fragments of 65 and 58 kD generated by caspases-3 and -7 cleaving at three sites: DEVPD30/G, DAQD486/G and WEID85/N. Sequence analysis revealed that the DEVPD30/G and WEID85/N sites lie within the highly conserved HATH (homologous to amino terminus of hepatoma-derived growth factor) region, also known as PWWP domain. Alignment of proteins containing this domain failed to reveal conservation of the DEVPD30/G and WEID85/N sites, suggesting that the HATH/PWWP domain of LEDGF/p75 may be specifically targeted by caspases. Overexpression of LEDGF/p75 protected HepG2 cells from serum starvation-induced cell death, whereas expression of the 65 kD fragment failed to protect. The apoptotic cleavage of LEDGF/p75 may contribute to the pathogenesis of atopic disorders by abrogating its pro-survival function and enhancing its immunogenicity. 相似文献

Our previous studies demonstrated that p75NTR confers protection against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis upon PC12 cells; however, the mechanisms responsible for this effect are not known. The present studies reveal decreased mitochondrion membrane potential and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in p75NTR-deficient PC12 cells as well as diminution of ROS generation after transfection of a full-length p75NTR construct into these cells. They also show that p75NTR deficiency attenuates activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase → phospho-Akt/protein kinase B pathway in PC12 cells by oxidative stress or neurotrophic ligands and inhibition of Akt phosphorylation decreases the glutathione (GSH) content in PC12 cells. In addition, decreased de novo GSH synthesis and increased GSH consumption are observed in p75NTR-deficient cells. These findings indicate that p75NTR regulates cellular handling of ROS to effect a survival response to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates cell growth and survival via two different multiprotein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. The assembly of these serine-threonine kinase multiprotein complexes occurs via poorly understood molecular mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that GRp58/ERp57 regulates the existence and activity of mTORC1. Endogenous mTOR interacts with GRp58/ERp57 in different mammalian cells. In vitro, recombinant GRp58/ERp57 preferentially interacts with mTORC1. GRp58/ERp57 knockdown reduces mTORC1 levels and phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70(S6K) in response to insulin. In contrast, GRp58/ERp57 overexpression increases mTORC1 levels and activity. A redox-sensitive mechanism that depends on GRp58/ERp57 expression activates mTORC1. Although GRp58/ERp57 is known as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident, we demonstrate its presence at the cytosol, together with mTOR, Raptor, and Rictor as well as a pool of these proteins associated to the ER. In addition, the presence of GRp58/ERp57 at the ER decreases in response to insulin or leucine. Interestingly, a fraction of p70(S6K), but not 4E-BP1, is associated to the ER and phosphorylated in response to serum, insulin, or leucine. Altogether, our results suggest that GRp58/ERp57 is involved in the assembly of mTORC1 and positively regulates mTORC1 signaling at the cytosol and the cytosolic side of the ER. 相似文献

Although LEDGF/p75 is believed to act as a cellular cofactor of lentiviral integration by tethering integrase (IN) to chromatin, there is no good in vitro model to analyze this functionality. We designed an AlphaScreen assay to study how LEDGF/p75 modulates the interaction of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 IN with DNA. IN bound with similar affinity to DNA mimicking the long terminal repeat or to random DNA. While LEDGF/p75 bound DNA strongly, a mutant of LEDGF/p75 with compromised nuclear localization signal (NLS)/AT hook interacted weakly, and the LEDGF/p75 PWWP domain did not interact, corroborating previous reports on the role of NLS and AT hooks in charge-dependent DNA binding. LEDGF/p75 stimulated IN binding to DNA 10-fold to 30-fold. Stimulation of IN-DNA binding required a direct interaction between IN and the C-terminus of LEDGF/p75. Addition of either the C-terminus of LEDGF/p75 (amino acids 325-530) or LEDGF/p75 mutated in the NLS/AT hooks interfered with IN binding to DNA. Our results are consistent with an in vitro model of LEDGF/p75-mediated tethering of IN to DNA. The inhibition of IN-DNA interaction by the LEDGF/p75 C-terminus may provide a novel strategy for the inhibition of HIV IN activity and may explain the potent inhibition of HIV replication observed after the overexpression of C-terminal fragments in cell culture. 相似文献

In breast cancer cells, the neurotrophin receptor p75(NTR) acts as a prosurvival factor able to stimulate resistance to apoptosis, but its mechanism of action remains incompletely defined. In this study, we investigated the global proteome modification induced by p75(NTR) overexpression in breast cancer cells treated by the pro-apoptotic agent tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related-apoptosis-inducing-ligand (TRAIL). p75(NTR) was stably overexpressed in the MCF-7 breast cancer cells and the impact of a treatment by TRAIL was investigated in wild type vs. p75(NTR) overexpressing cells. Proteins were separated in two-dimensional electrophoresis, and regulated spots were detected by computer assisted analysis before identification by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. In the absence of TRAIL treatment, p75(NTR) did not induce any change in the proteome of breast cancer cells. In contrast, after treatment with TRAIL, fragments of cytokeratin-8, -18 and -19, as well as full length cytokeratin-18, were up-regulated by p75(NTR) overexpression. Of note, spectrin alpha-chain and the ribosomal protein RPLP0 were induced by TRAIL, independently of p75(NTR) level. Interestingly, the well known stress-induced protein HSP-27 was less abundant when p75(NTR) was overexpressed, indicating that p75(NTR) overexpression reduced TRAIL induced cell stress. These data indicate that overexpression of p75(NTR) induces proteome modifications in breast cancer cells and provide information on how this receptor contributes in tumor cell resistance to apoptosis. 相似文献

The cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor reduces pro-oxidative stress-induced apoptosis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) exhibits pro- and anti-inflammatory activities and regulates cell proliferation and survival. We investigated the effects of MIF on apoptosis. As MIF exhibits oxidoreductase activity and participates in regulating oxidative cell stress, we studied whether MIF could affect oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. We demonstrated that MIF exhibits antiapoptotic activity in various settings. MIF suppressed camptothecin-induced apoptosis in HeLa and Kym cells and HL-60 promyeloblasts. Both exogenous MIF and endogenous MIF, induced following overexpression through tetracycline (tet) gene induction, led to significant suppression of apoptosis. Apoptosis reduction by MIF was also observed in T cells. A role for MIF in redox stress-induced apoptosis was addressed by comparing the effects of rMIF with those of the oxidoreductase mutant C60SMIF. Endogenous overexpression of C60SMIF was similar to that of MIF, but C60SMIF did not suppress apoptosis. Exogenous rC60SMIF inhibited apoptosis. A role for MIF in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis was directly studied in HL-60 leukocytes and tet-regulated HeLa cells following thiol starvation or diamide treatment. MIF protected these cells from redox stress-induced apoptosis and enhanced cellular glutathione levels. As overexpressed C60SMIF did not protect tet-regulated HeLa cells from thiol starvation-induced apoptosis, it seems that the redox motif of MIF is important for this function. Finally, overexpression of MIF inhibited phosphorylation of endogenous c-Jun induced by thiol starvation, indicating that MIF-based suppression of apoptosis is mediated through modulation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase activity. Our findings show that MIF has potent antiapoptotic activities and suggest that MIF is a modulator of pro-oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play critical roles in the occurrence, progression, and treatment of many cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanism by which miRNA regulates target gene expression in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not entirely clear. MiR-340-5p was reported to be downregulated in acute ischemic stroke. However, it still remains unknown whether miR-340-5p is mediated in the pathogenesis process of I/R injury after AMI. In the present study, male C57BL/6 J mice and H9C2 cardiomyocytes were used as experimental models. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis, Western blot analysis, and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling immunofluorescence staining assay were conducted to examine related indicators in the study. We confirmed that the expression of miR-340-5p is downregulated after I/R in AMI mice and hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes. miR-340-5p could inhibit apoptosis and oxidative stress in H/R-induced H9C2 cells via downregulating activator 1 (Act1). The inhibiting action of miR-340-5p on H/R-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes was partially reversed after Act1 overexpression. Moreover, the results showed that the NF-κB pathway may be mediated in the role of miR-340-5p on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress. We demonstrated that upregulation of miR-340-5p suppresses apoptosis and oxidative stress induced by H/R in H9C2 cells by inhibiting Act1. Therapeutic strategies that target miR-340-5p, Act1, and the NF-κB pathway could be beneficial for the treatment of I/R injury after AMI. 相似文献
